User:Smack has listed [[list of exponential topics]], a list I originated
and maintain still, at VfD, on the sole ground that he has added an
equivalent category. In his words, it has been 'superseded'. I contest
this. It is silly technologists' thinking, without any basis in common
sense.
I have posted a couple of times here already about the harmful (as I see it)
effect of talk assuming that categories are in some way now the de facto
standard. That's quite wrong. I won't rehearse all the reasons again.
I intend to make this a test case at VfD, so that the ludicrous idea of
removing a list that serves a proper purpose on WP can be knocked on the
head, once and for all.
